Dahlia continues to tinker, Volf continues to kill things. But it’s not necessarily the big changes that make the difference in a relationship, sometimes it’s just the smallest thing that shows where a person’s heart is at.
Minus her trying to bring modern conveniences to her new world via magic, there’s precious little isekai about Dahlia and that’s kind of for the better. With no destiny and no grand plan (as yet), she can just try to grow her business while standing on her own two feet.
And she’s no superstar who gets it all right - the very, very funny story where she and Volf craft a sword that does magic with a fairly detrimental bonus feature is a great example of this. She tries, she learns from failure, she gets her footing in the world. It’s so much better than having her just have it all.
Sure, I don’t necessarily need the exact minutiae of how she plans to make a fridge work in this world (or possibly not work), but that’s the minority of the story, mercifully, and the explanations are typically not so long to be tedious. That was my big complaint last volume and it’s toned down some here.
Oh, who cares though? You’re here to see Dahlia and Volf grow closer in the most incremental steps possible. This burn is so, so slow, but it does make a certain amount of sense, since Dahlia just got burned in a whole other way and there’s that whole class divide to contend with.
Instead you get a lot of friends sharing food and drinks together, which you’d think would get old, but the joy that these two find in one another’s company is palpable and the story does an excellent job of making the reader’s time spent with them feel worthwhile.
Obviously we’re going down this road eventually, but there’s plenty of time and the way the little subtleties are shone through things like their choice of wines (the art does such a fantastic job with this section too) and some unexpected reactions.
There’s also some business maneuvering with Dahlia’s former fiancé’s brother that both gives her a win, but also reminds her precisely of what sort of cutthroat enterprise she’s embarking upon. It’s light fantasy with some social politics that doesn’t ask much, but is very winning in its way.
4 stars - this is just a really nice series and I like both the story of Dahlia and Volf coming together, but also how it doesn’t overshadow Dahlia’s need to be her own person as well. Charming enough that I’ve come to really appreciate its quiet consistency.

I like how everything keeps developing. Her getting her business going, her friendship with Volf being adorable, and even the other characters that are coming into the story. It's even nice seeing what's going on with Tobias. It's been admitted that he was a terrible fiance but I like that you're still getting more of his story mostly due to the fallout with his family. I just appreciate it when an author doesn't just let characters and plotlines disappear.

I really like this story and the art. It’s really cute, not cliché, constructive and realistic enough!

Despite my frustrations with the treatment of wildlife (they kill a bunch of frogs without explanation, but when a mega fauna shows up to eat the frogs they kill the predator), I like many other things about the series.
I am confused about Dahlia and her worldview. I like the class dynamic but Dahlia just calls it "worldview" and says that she doesnt care what other people think about her relationship with Volf, the noble. Yet she is obsessed with no being seen as being indebted to Volf, who is sincere in his desire to help her.
And even though Dahlia openly calls herself naive, this doesnt really come across to me. She is stubborn, resolute and indifferent. Her friends are mad that she ignored their warnings about her ex fiance, and she doesnt really reflect on how she behaved or why she did those things.
Instead, she just swears off romance while resolving to be more emotionally available to her friends.
So Dahlia is a person disconnected from her feelings, and is very cerebral as a result.
I think Dahlia's less than pleasant personality is buttressed by the fact thay she's surrounded by people who want to help and advise her no matter what. Even though Dahlia's dad protected her a lot, I think her personality derives moreso from the fact that she remembers her life before she was reincarnated. So she doesnt really have a new or different personality; which means she will make the same mistakes as last time.
The only lessons she got from her dad were about work, not about life. I think this means she is disconnected from herself in a meaningful way. I hope the manga explores this.
I also like that this is a multiple POV manga so we get to see what is going on with other characters.

Vraiment cool on approche d'un tournant à la fin de ce tome, ça commence à devenir très intéressant !
Ce qui est top, c'est que l'histoire s'éloigne des clichés du genre et ça fait du bien. Je vous l'avais mentionné dans le précédent tome mais déjà partir sur une histoire d'amitié fille-garçon ça change grave de d'habitude. Y en a encore plein d'autres des détails que je pourrai citer notamment l'héroïne qui n'est pas parfaite en tout point et qui n'est pas badass ou bien l'inverse. Je la trouve très réaliste et on voit clairement son évolution au fil des tomes et c'est très plaisant.
Concernant Wolfdred c'est un perso à part je dirai qui lui aussi s'éloigne clairement des clichés sur les nobles dans la fantasy et c'est chouette. Le tome 4 devrait sortir pour ce printemps donc je me le note dans ma wishlist ;)

J’ai bien aimé l’ambiance qui se dégageait de l’histoire. C’était détendu.
Les dessins sont tout aussi beaux que les précédents. Dommage qu’il y ait peu de grandes planches. Les scènes de combat m’ont impressionnée, je ne m’attendais pas à ce que ce soit si réussi ; j’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à m’attarder sur les illustrations.
J’ai bien aimé ce troisième tome et je lirai volontiers le prochain tome avant la fin du mois.

So once again I flew through reading this. I love the story and how much we see Dahlia grow as a person in this volume. I am counting down the days until vol 4 comes out.

Lovely just so lovely!

Η συγγραφέας πρέπει να σπάει πλάκα με αυτή τη σειρά. Αυτή ήταν μια συλλογή με τα πιο παράταιρα αντικείμενα που θα μπορούσε να συνδυάσει κανείς. Θέλω πολύ να δω ποια θα είναι η επόμενή της εφεύρεση.
